First of all, sorry for any spelling errors, I am not a very good English speaker.
I've been trying to compile BBconf (the BlackBox configuration tool) for some time now, but I can't pass the configure phase; the case is that - I don't know why - I keep receiving the following message before the configure stops:

Code:

configure:22936: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.1 (20021021)) (library qt-mt) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support!

I opened the config.log archive and saw that there was a missing file in the process and it was the qglobal.h. So, I managed to tell the configure command to search the file in the right path, tried to do this as follows:

Code:

./configure --with-qt-includes=/usr/include/qt4/Qt

The curious thing is that this don't solved the problem of the missing file at all, and now I don't know what to do anymore. If you could, give me some help guys.

I searched for the qt3 overlays and found the x11-libs/qt-qt3support , emerged it with "ask" option and noted that the package was already installed here on my box. So, I think that the lack of qt3 support isn't the problem (or maybe I'm still doing something very wrong!).

Thanks megabaks,
I didn't know what overlays were about. Unfortunately, trying using the overlays didn't help for various motives, some of them (the overlays) could no complete the source fetches, other started the compilation but for "unkow errors" - as it said in the error message - it could not finish the compile phase, and the last one gave errors related to masked packages that were dependencies of the qt-3.3.8-r4 package.
Well, that's really sad because I wanted to have a GUI configuration manager to my BlackBox.

I compiled the qt3 packaged source that I found in this index http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/troll/qt/source/, the installation process was all right but when I tried to configure the bbconf sources again I received a new kind of error. As I said, before there was a file called qglobal.h missing and the error was like:

Should this qt-mt library come out of the box with Qt3 or I must compile another package to get the job done? I could not find a package related to it for Gentoo, only find a .deb on Debian repositories. Any ideas?_________________'I' means I, 'we' means we.

Thanks megabaks,
It was just a desperate trying. As I said, the overlays that I've tried with layman had various problems - some, for "uknow errors" refused to compile, others could not fetch the sources (as you can see on the code posted up above) and other even has dependencies masked for corruption. So, I am a bit lost here._________________'I' means I, 'we' means we.

Regarding bbconf: TBH, why not look for a program that's a bit less than a decade out of date ?
Sure, somebody could try to port it, but the code is full of assumptions, that are quite a bit odd these days (and that's if you forget about it using the kde hacks for a build system).
Any decent port would end up rewriting most of the code anyway.
